This excerpt is presented as reproduced by Copernicus in the preface to De Revolutionibus: 'Some think that the earth remains at rest. But Philolaus the Pythagorean believes that, like the sun and moon, it revolves around the fire in an oblique circle. Heraclides of Pontus and Ecphantus the Pythagorean make the earth move, not in a progressive motion, but like a wheel in rotation from west to east around its own center.'

It must be brief enough to be engraved on a ring to be ever present. It must be appropriate to every situation, as useful in prosperity as in adversity. It must be a motto wise and true and endlessly enduring, words by which a man could be guided all his life, in every circumstance, no matter what happened. The wise men finally came to the monarch with their magic words. They were words for every change or chance of fortune ... words to fit every situation, good or bad ... words to ease the heart and mind in every circumstance. The words they gave for the ring were: This, too, shall pass away. proverb

Johann Joachim Becher
